What is this the following toddler saying, other than "No thank you", "drive!", ''Worry about yourself"?

I couldn’t figure it out either.

Everybody seems to find this kid extremely cute. Is that indeed the case? I don’t…

Does she say, “You can help when we are okay.”

@whitenoise The part where she is a tyrant is kind of scary, I wouldn’t laugh in front of her. I find the rest cute. But let’s hope whoever she is aping, and the father? get a look in the mirror and stop the bad behaviour.
She must be be a handful.

@bkcunningham it sounds kind of like that.

This is the video with the extremely cute, @whitenoise, extremely cute and adorable little girls. I like all kids so don’t go by my prejudice about what others may feel about the video.

I halfway wonder if she is saying the name of the place where they are going. It sounds like she says, “You can help when we are at okay,” and following that is where I hear her say, “You can help when we are okay.” I’m thinking she pronounces okay as “oh key.”

Thanks @bkcunningham I forgot to post the video.

You are more than welcome, @flo. @whitenoise, you gotta love that little voice and bossy attitude. Come on now. :~ )

Well, buck, I’m sorry. I just don’t like it. Seems to on the border of nice versus tyrant. I know too many tyrant kids. :)

My brother calls them little terrorists. LOL Buck?

Well… iPhone… In bed… 645 am… My Sunday…

Mmmm, imagine this kid in a couple of years, the whole family will be taking orders from her and running round in circles!

I’m pretty sure she says, “You can help when we go out to eat” and “Otay?” So cute.

Yes, she is cute but I would have corrected her for speaking to me in such a way. It was disrespectful and it’s not going to be cute in a few years, and certainly not as a teenager.

She’s cute and looks a bit too young to be rude or giving lip. I’d be worried if she managed to get the caraway clip unlocked though.
If she were older and more self aware we have a saying in our family that she would be called an emperor child. Spoilt rude and self centered urrrggh

@Arewethereyet My daughter got the clip to her car seat done all the time until we bought one with a different latch (it was a more cheaply made carseat, and some of the bad reviews of it mentioned that it was hard to unlatch it!)

I remember being surprised that toddlers are now being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. To me, it seems that EVERY toddler has it. When they get angry, they are SO angry. People think it’s cute when they get SO happy, but don’t realize that the SO angry part is normal too.

My daughter can work herself up and say really crazy nasty (but funny)things when she gets mad. I tell her it’s OK to be mad, but she can’t say those things. But sometimes when she gets in a frenzy she says things that I just can’t help but laugh out loud at. I wouldn’t worry about a kid that age being a brat. We were all like that once and most of us grew out of it.

That independent little girl in the video is most likely repeating things she’s heard her parents say to each other. That’s what makes it even funnier to me. Listen to the mockingbird.

Everything a kid that age says it’s because she’s heard it from her parents. Sometime it’s really sad to hear the kinds of things they’re repeating.

I agree with @Dutchess_III :“Sometime it’s really sad to hear the kinds of things they’re repeating.”

Yeah….they get it straight from their parents…then get in trouble by their parents for saying it.

@whitenoise is right, it is not cute when tyranny is there too.

That’s weird….
She must be a handful of a kid, that’s for sure.

My son’s daughter can be a buger. She’ll be told “No, don’t mess with that,” but she will ALWAYS try it again any way, to the point where you feel like she’s thinking “I can control voice activation.” (Reaches for something again) “NO, Adriona!” Then she’ll grin like, “Yep! I still got it!” Then she’ll toddle over for a kiss. She stores up kisses against getting in “trouble.” She’s still not allowed to do whatever, ever. Everyone backs everyone else up. “No,” means “No.”

Rick and I got into a mild discussion about one of the other kids last night. They visited for a couple of hours yesterday. At one point I was grating Mozzarella cheese. Jaden (4) was standing next to me, so I handed him some cheese. He liked it.
A little later he came in to the kitchen, which he thought was empty. He didn’t realize Rick was watching. He saw a little cheese still on the plate, and reached up to get it. Rick startled the crap out of him by barking ”WHAT are you doing?”
Jaden jumped a mile, then asked if he could have the cheese.
Rick chuckled and said, “Sure.”
I thought Rick was wrong to startle the kid, by acting like he’d “caught” him doing something “wrong,” then laughing about it. I said I would have used it as a teaching opportunity, to teach Jaden that he needs to ask permission to take things.
Rick’s POV was that it was just a little scrap of cheese that was going to be tossed anyway. I said it was the concept that was important. He thought I was “over reacting.”
I still say, if it isn’t important, ignore it. If it is, address it. But don’t send mix messages, which is what I feel like he did.

That applies to this video. The parent has lost the opportunity to teach the child the concept of respect just because she’s is sooo cute.

Yep “nip it in the bud” as they say.
